Poets United: Poetry Pantry 165

A new found place to share...Poets United:  Poetry Pantry 165.  
Dad brought too much
Home from the war
Things he should've left behind
Were always with him

He taught me to love my country
Respect the flag
Enjoy our freedom
And thank the veterans

But the nightmares
And the over heard stories
When Veterans visited
Told me I was lucky

Dad made it home
A different man
A grateful man
A haunted man but home
